I remember getting real hardcore about obscure feats like that, at one point I could do a one handed pull up with my right arm, almost one with my left arm, or until I got bored with both palms towards me, and like three quarters as many facing away.

Started trying to do stuff like the fingertip pushups and while I was able I couldn't find a good reason because it's just a half-ass forearm workout, how often do you stab stuff with your fingertips? I mean, excluding Viltrumites like Thragg.

On the other hand I make lots of use of the muscles from the actual forearm work I did, since I don't use vices or whatnot much for work bracing, the only thing that really has decent difficulty is clamping a piece of wood to the fork on my lap bench with one hand while I saw the shape out with the other, my triceps are gonna end up all yoked like Thragg or some shit... which I'm ok with.


The occasional "zhhhrrrnkk-vssshhh-zhhhrrrnk-vsssshhh" from a coping saw is soothing compared to the otherworldly screams some of those saws make when in use, not to mention the crazy dust and space requirements.

This could have just as easily gone in the WTF thread, but my Orange Goblin beanie was just complimented by a stranger, which is not unusual - but I'm on a plane, of all places!
What are the odds of winding up on the same flight as someone else with great taste in music? Nice.
Also I'm finally on the bloody plane, which is a Happy in itself.

My anti-anxiety medication's side effect has a hard counter in the form of caffeine.

Evidently it somehow fucks with the adenine receptors in my brain, or causes it to overproduce adenine, or something. Regardless, the caffeine's stopping me from feeling knackered.

Just, uh. Make sure to consult your doctor on the subject if you haven't already. Working doesn't necessarily mean "not causing kidney failure" or somethin'. Caffeine's usually not super reactive to stuff so far as I'm aware but self medicating (even with a pervasive, socially unquestioned drug) pretty much always adds extra risks.

... also probably be careful what you're getting the caffeine through, heh. Soda's the diabetes route, iirc tea can encourage kidney stones (which if you've never had, you never want and extra never want again if you have), so on, so forth.

I've checked drug interactions. The only thing it interacts with are MAOIs (Which interact with everything, hence why they're used far less often now) and alcohol. The alcohol interaction comes down to a doubling down of the tiredness effect.

The reason I shouldn't be having caffeine is just because it's got a chance, which is small it should be noted, of making my anxiety worse. Nothing to do with the medication, everything to do with my brain not working properly in the first place. And it's either an utterly miniscule risk of the caffeine making my anxiety worse (Which it shouldn't, I've been having caffeine for the first half of this bout of anxiety with some regularity and it did nothing to it) or I feel like I want to sleep all day until my body finally adapts to the medication.

I don't envy the scientist who had to find the correct dose of sleeping pills for a spider, that wouldn't put it to sleep or kill it.

Maybe the reason it looks like that is because it kept dozing off and starting over

I never liked caffeine that much, I find them spiderwebs quite accurate.

Isn't caffeine literally poision that we're immune to only because the dose, being designed for insects, is too low for us? That spider must be so close to death
